You know the who, what, when and why.  But where are you going direct guests on your upcoming wedding invitations?  Selecting your perfect wedding reception site is not always as simple as booking the local park, function hall or hotel ballroom.  Couples today crave originality – and this often starts with the reception locale.  But beware when touring those off-the-trodden-path potential reception sites, read on for the top questions to ask before you book.

• Are there separate spaces for the cocktail hour and dinner?
• Where are good photo spots onsite?
• Are there any restrictions on decorating?
• Do vendors for the site need to be chosen from a particular list?  If so, get a copy of that list.
• How many guests can the location support?
• Are other events booked for this site on the same day?  If so, when?
• Where do guests park?
• What are the bathroom arrangements?
• Is the space currently available on your chosen date(s)?
• Is there a nearby space where the bride and groom can get ready?
• What type of sound system and dance floor does the space provide?
• Is there a strict cutoff time at which guests must leave?
